    Mine was 265 in WB and 48 ft spread. < 65 ft . Got measured several times. Some states allow longer than 65, pulled 53 ft for Goodway for a year and no problem.

    I can tell you with my 265" wheelbase and a 48' trailer w/ 30" KP I was 69'+.
    Wheelbase can be very misleading compared to overall length of the tractor itself. A set back axle like a Volvo or Pete 386 will have less wheelbase than a say a set forward Pete 389, but overall length will be similar.

    Must be one of those "left handed" tape measures....my 265" plus a 48' with a 30" kingpin is over 70...
